Despite having <a href=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/2018\/09\/08\/whats-japans-least-appealing-big-city-and-why-did-it-get-stuck-with-that-title%E3%80%90survey%E3%80%91\/\">some very cool stuff<\/a> (like a castle and good access to the Studio Ghibli anime theme park), Nagoya is often skipped by travelers <a href=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/2025\/03\/22\/is-nagoya-skipping-a-leading-cause-of-the-exodus-of-young-people-from-the-city\/\">and pop stars alike<\/a>, perhaps because it can\u2019t match the big-city glamor of Tokyo and Osaka, but also doesn\u2019t have the same traditional mystique as Kyoto or Nara.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But you know who never forgets about Nagoya? Krispy Kreme<\/strong>. The donut chain\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/2023\/09\/20\/krispy-kreme-japan-releases-new-seasonal-premium-nagoya-donut-flavors-for-the-fall\/\"><strong>Premium Nagoya<\/strong> series<\/a> is a selection of <strong>special, extra-decadent donuts that are only offered in Nagoya<\/strong>, and specifically only at the JR Nagoya Takashimaya branch in the Takashimaya department store that\u2019s attached to Nagoya Station.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With the weather getting warmer, two new Nagoya-exclusive treats are on their way, one of which makes use of the city\u2019s best-loved sweets themes: an (sweet bean past) and butter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-733529\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/05\/kn-2.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Krispy Kreme Nagoya Premium Lemon and An Butter<\/strong> is a bun-style donut that wraps around a filling of sweet and tart lemon jam, an, and butter. While many Nagoya sweets shops combine butter and red an (such as in the an butter toast served by many cafes in the city), for this donut Krispy Kreme uses <strong>white an<\/strong>, which has a more refined sweetness and cleaner finish. Add in the richness of the butter, and you\u2019ve got a complex flavor profile that also promises to be refreshingly citrusy as we head into the hottest time of the year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-733530\" src=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/05\/kn-3.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"532\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Joining the lemon an butter donut on the menu will be the <strong>Krispy Kreme Nagoya Premium Peach and Vanilla<\/strong>. Aichi actually supplies quite a bit of Japan\u2019s produce, including<strong> white peaches<\/strong>, and this donut is filled with peach jam with pieces of fruit in it, and also vanilla cream. You also get a swirl of cream around the top of the donut plus a pistachio accent, making the Nagoya Premium Peach and Vanilla very pretty to look at in those scant few seconds before your willpower crumbles and you dig in.<\/p>\n<p>Both donuts are priced at 389 yen (US$2.50), go on sale May 27, and are projected to be around until late August, giving us all two more reasons to visit Nagoya this summer (though if you can\u2019t make it, <a href=\"https:\/\/soranews24.com\/2026\/05\/21\/mcdonalds-japan-adds-curry-french-fry-flavor-regional-taste-burgers-to-its-menu-with-gotochi-mac\/\">McDonald\u2019s Japan has a way to bring some Nagoya flavor to the rest of the country too<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shop information<\/strong><br \/>\nKrispy Kreme Donuts (JR Nagoya Takashimaya branch) \/ \u30af\u30ea\u30b9\u30d4\u30fc\u30fb\u30af\u30ea\u30fc\u30e0\u30fb\u30c9\u30fc\u30ca\u30c4\uff08\u30b8\u30a7\u30a4\u30a2\u30fc\u30eb\u540d\u53e4\u5c4b\u30bf\u30ab\u30b7\u30de\u30e4\u5e97\uff09<br \/>\nAddress: Aichi-ken, Nagoya-shi, Nakamura-ku, Meieki 1-1-4 JR Nagoya Takashimaya 1st floor North Block<br \/>\n\u611b\u77e5\u770c\u540d\u53e4\u5c4b\u5e02\u4e2d\u6751\u533a\u540d\u99c51-1-4\u30b8\u30a7\u30a4\u30a2\u30fc\u30eb\u540d\u53e4\u5c4b\u30bf\u30ab\u30b7\u30de\u30e41F\u5317\u30d6\u30ed\u30c3\u30af<br \/>\nOpen 10 a.m.-8 p.m.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/krispykreme.jp\/store\/aichi\/nagoyatakashimaya.html\">Website<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/prtimes.jp\/main\/html\/rd\/p\/000000261.000075665.html\">PR Times<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em>Featured image: <a href=\"https:\/\/prtimes.jp\/main\/html\/rd\/p\/000000261.000075665.html\">PR Times<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em>Top image: <a href=\"https:\/\/prtimes.jp\/main\/html\/rd\/p\/000000253.000075665.html\">PR Times<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em>Insert images: <a href=\"https:\/\/prtimes.jp\/main\/html\/rd\/p\/000000261.000075665.html\">PR Times<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u25cf Want to hear about SoraNews24\u2019s latest articles as soon as they\u2019re published? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RocketNews24En\">Follow us on Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RocketNews24En\">Twitter<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local sweets-fan favorite serves as inspiration for one of two donuts not available anywhere else in the world.
